Ooer! Main gear has big problems! Likely to take out Gatwick for some time when it does touch down. Pity we don't have Manston any more - came in very handy for emergencies such as this! 10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)

Fingers and legs crossed and butt clenched me thinks, hoping for a safe outcome. FL2 SD4 Metropolis Auto Santorini Black / ivory completely stock.

It's true that light travels faster than sound, some people look quite intelligent until you hear them speak.


Stop global winging.

Must have been a brown trouser moment for those involved

Unlike the Asian airline a few days ago, I just hope it was swift and painless for those involved in that one

Saw another BRown Trouser aftermath today, a Micra had skidded out on the bridge going across the motorway, looks like the must have headed straight towards the railings by the marks in the road/ice Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

England 2013 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Orkney Grey

Lucky no tyres burst on landing. Must have put some strain on the three other main undercarriage assemblies on landing. I've recently flown on a couple of Virgin Atlantic 747-400s although not this one (G-VROM I think). Shocked Gone:

That was very well done! I'm amazed that wing didn't scrape the runway
